Not sure if it's related, but you've got a div inside a p element there: <p><div hx-get="/hx_usr_progress" hx-trigger="every 1s"></div></p>
That'll probably get corrected by the browser to: <p></p> <div hx-get="/hx_usr_progress" hx-trigger="every 1s"></div> <p></p> Another thing is, it doesn't look like there's anything linking the submit button click to the initial htmx request, and there's no htmx in the response. Have you tried replicating the progress bar example? https://htmx.org/examples/progress-bar/ On Tuesday, November 28, 2023 at 2:26:20 AM UTC Mike Dewhirst wrote: > I'm trying but failing to get htmx to deliver a progress indication. > > The task is creating records in the database for each item in a list > provided by the logged in user. > > The view with the submit button collects the list and does the database > insertion.
